A Rare (And Utterly Adorable) Picture Emerges of the Dragon Prince of Bhutan

The adorable son of King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck and Queen Jetsun Pema posed as a miniature doctor for the Yellow Bhutan calendar’s July page. The group wrote in a Facebook post that the image was in honor of the country’s medical sector: “Like His Royal Highness, many children are fond of playing ‘doctor-doctor.’ Our health personnel are an inspiration and role models for many, for their hard work and sacrifice, and for healing and helping so many people every day.”

The toddler (who just turned 1 year old this February) also made an appearance in June’s calendar shoot with his mother, but it’s this solo pose, with a too-big stethoscope and an ear-to-ear smile, that made hearts swoon everywhere.

The Dragon Prince’s parents (who are yes, you guessed it, called the Dragon King and Queen) have been dubbed by some in the Western press as the “William and Kate of the Himalayas.” It’s an apt comparison—both pairs are beloved, fashionable, and modern royals (King Jigme, in particular, is supporting democratic reforms in his country. So, if the royal gods are listening—can we pray for a George, Charlotte, and Jigme playdate?
